Collapse, Manipulation and Dogma

Just before Christmas, I collapsed as a result of poor blood oxygen saturation. A chest infection had prevented life giving oxygen from getting to my blood.

What do the collapse of Carillion, the feared collapse of Capita, the lack of confidence in PFI, the failure of The Green Deal, the failure of rail companies around the UK (as opposed to those in other countries, many of which make money out of UK rail passengers), and numerous other examples of private company fiascos tell us about the privatisation and outsourcing of essential services by central and local government edict following slavish adherence to political dogma? It doesn’t work. The oxygen required to make it work is being diluted into shareholder dividends and directors’ salaries.

What does the manipulation of local government elections by mandatory deselection of moderate labour councillors (masquerading as reselection) by slavish adherence to Momentum’s political dogma tell us about a future labour government? It is not going to work. The oxygen required to make it work is being wasted on futile dogma.

I despair when I see so many resources being frittered away from the many into the personal accounts of the few.
